Do you enjoy being comfortable? Who would say no to that? Sometimes, God calls us out of a situation we've grown comfortable with to fulfill His mission in a less comfortable environment. This was Abraham's story. Amazingly, he gave up everything he knew to obey God. Thankfully, God worked His promise, even in the uncomfortable times. Let's seek to be like Abraham, even if it means leaving behind our comfort!

How quick are you to point fingers and pass the blame onto someone else? When we are confronted by our sin, it's easy to come up with excuses. This game dates back to the first occurrence of sin in the Garden of Eden. Thankfully, though we are guilty, God chooses to do something about it, motivated by His love for us. He sends His son to pay the wages of our sin and remove our reason for guilt. Because of this, we are bold to repent and rejoice in our Savior.

Are you a good listener? So often, what we call listening is really just mindlessly waiting for our turn to be heard. Sadly, we even do this with God! Instead of listening, we'd rather interrupt and tell God what we expect of him. Not surprisingly, this doesn't always go over so well. Today, we learn that Jesus is worthy of all our attention and all of our obedience. So, let's strive to listen to him this week and worship him together this morning!
